How to repeat range within an array

Lets say I have an array like this:

$array[]

1.txt
2.txt
3.txt
marker start.txt
4.txt
5.txt
6.txt
7.txt
8.txt
9.txt
marker end.txt
10.txt
11.txt
12.txt
13.txt

How do I repeat the range between the markers and delete the marker rows so $array[] becomes:

1.txt
2.txt
3.txt
4.txt
5.txt
6.txt
7.txt
8.txt
9.txt
4.txt
5.txt
6.txt
7.txt
8.txt
9.txt
10.txt
11.txt
12.txt
13.txt

This should do it:
<?php
 
function RemoveMarker($ArrayField) {
	if  (stristr(strtolower($ArrayField),"marker") == false) {
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}
 
$OldArray = array("1.txt","2.txt","3.txt","marker start.txt","4.txt","5.txt","6.txt","7.txt","8.txt","9.txt","marker end.txt","10.txt","11.txt","12.txt","13.txt");
 
$NewArray = array_values(array_filter($OldArray,"RemoveMarker"));
 
print_r($NewArray);
 
?>
